Soto ties Mel Ott with 19th HR as a teenager

A night after hitting two home runs in a game for the third time this season, Nationals phenom Juan Soto went deep again on Wednesday night, his 19th home run of the season.

The solo shot off reliever Austin Davis in the top of the sixth at Citizens Bank Park gave Washington a 5-1 lead. The 19 homers as a teenager tie Hall of Famer Mel Ott for third all-time. Only Tony Conigliaro (24) and Bryce Harper (22) have hit more.
